Public funding can be one of the most powerful growth tools available to startups and founders — yet for many, it still feels like a bureaucratic black box.
In this betabreakfast session, funding strategist Anaita Azizi will break down how public grants and non-dilutive funding actually work, helping founders understand where opportunities exist, what funders are looking for, and how to build a funding strategy that supports long-term growth.
Rather than focusing on complex application processes, this talk will explore the bigger picture: how to identify relevant programs, align your business goals with funding priorities, and create a roadmap that makes future applications faster, more strategic, and more successful.
Whether you're building a startup, launching a new venture, or simply curious about alternative funding options beyond investors, you'll leave with a clearer understanding of how to navigate Germany's public funding landscape.
What we'll cover:
- How public funding works in Germany
- The difference between grants, subsidies, and other non-dilutive funding options
- What makes startups attractive to public funders
- How to create a strategic funding roadmap
- Common mistakes founders make when approaching grants
- Practical frameworks you can apply immediately
